This piece was done for a Sport Show for a gallery opening during Super Bowl week and with a lot of snow and ice there were some problems of attendance and closings. Good that it didn't sell as some of the text combined to make an objectionable word if read in one direction - something that happens when you are in the midst of grabbing up pieces of paper for their design qualities instead of their readability. Now it has been repaired with an additional piece of cheese!

I submitted an article,"Go One Step Beyond Painting - Create a Contemporary Collage" to Empty Easel and it is posted HERE on their site. Empty Easel is an online art magazine with practical advice, tips and tutorials for creating and selling art. Write an article or send in your favorite art tip and share.

If you'd like to read about other contemporary collage artists I've listed some of the ones I'm familiar with on my blog post HERE. On the above painting I've let some of the acrylic background show, used magazine papers and fewer hand painted pieces. It's your choice to what suits your design the best. With this process you will have fewer paint covered clothes but your house can begin to look like a paper confetti egg toss.

Nancy, thanks for sharing all your wonderful collage paintings with us! Also, I read your article on Empty Easel which I found interesting and informative... I had never been to EE website before so you introduced me to another resource...thanks! Kay Reynolds-Be Still My Art
